Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If open-loop power control scheme is introduced to avoid interference on uplink transmission, then interference on uplink transmission is reduced, but transmission reliability for autonomous driving scenarios is not adequately ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference on uplink transmissionVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a static open-loop power control scheme to a dynamic closed-loop power control mechanism. The terminal adjusts transmission power based on real-time feedback information including path loss, channel occupancy ratio, and transmission success rate, enabling adaptive power adjustment that responds to changing communication conditions to ensure reliable transmission while controlling interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by establishing a closed-loop power control system where the terminal receives feedback information from the network device about transmission quality and channel conditions. This feedback includes path loss values, channel occupancy ratios, and transmission success rates, which are used to dynamically adjust transmission power to balance interference control and transmission reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If transmission power is increased to ensure high reliability for autonomous driving, then transmission reliability is improved, but interference with uplink transmission increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidinterference on uplink transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting transmission power based on multiple parameters including path loss, channel occupancy ratio, and transmission success rate. The terminal modifies power levels adaptively rather than using fixed high power, achieving reliable transmission when needed while minimizing interference during normal conditions through continuous parameter-based optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If transmission power is decreased to reduce interference with uplink transmission, then interference on uplink transmission is reduced, but transmission latency increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference on uplink transmissionVSAvoidtransmission latency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by implementing adaptive power adjustment that responds to real-time channel conditions. When channel quality is poor or interference is detected, the system dynamically increases power to reduce latency and ensure timely transmission. When channel conditions are good, power is reduced to minimize interference, creating a dynamic balance between latency and interference control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
